Ever wondered if longer posts tend to have a higher payout value? Analyzing 5000 posts, it turns out that there is only a weak correlation between them! I took the 5000 newest posts that are at least 2 days old, and analyzed their pending payout value and post length in number of characters. This was done using a simple python script and the Steem library.
postLength = len(s.get_content(c['author'],c['permlink'])['body'])
payoutValue = s.get_content(c['author'],c['permlink'])['pending_payout_value']
Plotting a scatter plot on a logarithmic scale, we see the following:
Now similarly, with a trendline, we see a r=0.301, which indicates weak correlation.
What other interesting things are there about this plot? Comment below!
